The City of Vancouver is proposing rainwater management requirements, for new developments on sites exceeding 1,000 m2 or with a floor-space-ratio (FSR) greater than 1.0, to take effect with Council approval on January 1, 2026. The City has outlined that they will be eliminating sewer capacity reviews and upgrade conditions for sites with 6 storeys and under.
